Due to the recent flooding throughout Acadiana, including Erath, the Acadian Museum’s annual fundraiser has been rescheduled for Saturday, Aug. 27.

Andy Perrin, chairman of the Acadian Museum’s Executive Committee, made the announcement Tuesday.

Initially, the event was set for this Saturday. The program remains the same and includes the new, permanent exhibit, "The Life of Sen. Dudley J. LeBlanc Sr.: Acadian to Cajun." Also on tap is the induction of former Louisiana Attorney General Richard Ieyoub into the Order of Living Legends.

Michèle Le Blanc, LeBlanc's granddaughter, will sponsor the re-release of LeBlanc's historic books “The Acadian Miracle” (1966) on its 50th anniversary and “The True Story of the Acadians” (1926) on its 90th anniversary.

At 6:30 p.m., The Louisiana Commissioner of Conservation and former Louisiana Attorney General Richard Ieyoub will be inducted into the Order of Living Legends at Erath Community Center in City Park.

"I am really pleased to be honored by the Acadian Museum,” said Ieyoub. “And look forward to again visiting my friends in Vermilion Parish.”

The public is invited to attend. Tickets are available for purchase at $35 per person. Dinner and drinks will be provided for the event.
